Still an endemic disease, out west especially. Cases crop up occasionally. I'm not worried until it turns pneumonic.

Figures a cat was involved.

Well at least it's not Ebola, yet.

Alaskapox, which was identified in 2015, is a rare orthopoxvirus related to smallpox. An elderly man in Alaska is the first reported person to die of the virus.

Plague is bacteria rather than a virus, so anti-biotics are an effective treatment.

I'm sure the latest pandemic virus has already been created in a lab, God knows where (cough...china), waiting to "accidentally" be released. Or, another potential could be it comes through the border pre-infected in a patient zero.
